Five Manchester United players in fitness race to face Leicester City

Manchester United could be without five key players for their match against Leicester City this weekend, according to reports.

The Red Devils have had a tricky start to the season, picking up just five points from their opening four matches.

Their only victory came on the opening weekend when they thumped Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford but they have since drawn at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton and lost at home to Crystal Palace.

And things don’t look to be getting any easier for boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who, the Mirror reports, could be without five players when a confident Leicester visit on Saturday.

Summer signing Wan-Bissaka is one of five doubts for the Foxes clash.

It’s claimed defenders Luke Shaw (hamstring) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (back), midfielders Jesse Lingard (illness) and Paul Pogba (ankle), plus striker Anthony Martial (groin) are all doubts after missing their country’s matches over the international break.

Shaw and Martial missed the draw at Southampton but Lingard, Pogba and Wan-Bissaka all featured in that game.

Leicester are currently third in the table having won two and drawn two of their opening four matches under boss Brendan Rodgers.
